River Ave. Blues ยป Report: Yankees to sign Rafael DePaula

Report: Yankees to sign Rafael DePaula

November 18, 2010 by Mike 48 Comments

Sherman: Yanks first offer to Jeter coming soon
What Went Right: Phil Hughes

Via Melissa Segura, the Yankees are expected to sign Dominican right-hander Rafael DePaula later today. The bonus is said to be around $700,000. DePaula was suspended from signing for a year after lying about his age and identity, but he was cleared by MLB’s verification process earlier this year. The soon-to-be 20-year-old (in March) was considered one of the best available this year, standing 6-foot-3 with a fastball that has touched 97 in workouts. Here’s video.

The Mariners, another Latin American powerhouse, made DePaula an offer as well.
